Description

Summer may be over, but this pool is still open and will be ready for new owners to enjoy next season! Set in a friendly, established neighborhood, this 3,000+ square foot colonial style home offers 4 upstairs bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and finished basement with additional room for 5th bedroom or office. Pride of ownership shines throughout, with major updates and exceptional maintenance over the years. Notable improvements include a new full roof replacement (2026), HVAC system (2025), hot water heater (2023), sump pump (2023) and updated hardwood flooring (2020/2024). The deck boards and screened in porch were replaced in 2024, most kitchen appliances are less than five years old, and the windows were replaced in 2011 and include a 1 year warranty. With so many of the major systems already updated, this is a home you can move into with confidence and enjoy for years to come. And when warm weather returns, the private saltwater in-ground pool and screened in porch with wired speakers will be ready for endless summer days, backyard entertaining, and making memories at home. Inside the main level has a traditional floor plan as you walk into a soaring foyer entryway with formal living/sitting room on the left and dining room on the right. Continue back to a bright, large kitchen with a huge center island - the quintessential gathering space. Owners took down a separating wall space to create an open concept flow from kitchen to family room centered by a gas fireplace and French doors opening to an amazing screened in porch space. The screened in porch is the ultimate outside hangout - think football games, game nights, or just relaxing outside with fresh air. The porch opens to a deck area large enough for outdoor table and grill with a built in gas line so you'll never run out of propane! This all overlooks the gorgeous pool setting with a built in gazebo for shade during those hot sunny days. Back inside, upstairs offers 4 generous sized bedrooms. The primary suite has vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and renovated bathroom with stand up shower, double vanity sink, and oversized mirror with LED lights. The other secondary bedrooms share a renovated hallway bathroom. The basement is fully finished with the 5th bedroom/office space, bar/sitting space, TV areas with gas fireplace in the corner, full bathroom, storage room, walk in cedar closet, utility room, and French doors to walk out exterior. Walk out to a recently improved stone path walk way and stone retaining walls heading towards the pool area. There is also an additional shed under the screen-in porch for added storage. The 2 car garage is properly finished offering shelving and cabinets to stay organized. Pull down stairs lead to the attic with floor boards down for even more storage. This home really offers everything and is in A+ condition! This gem is located in a well maintained neighborhood of Strawberry Fields - convenient to routes 100 and 29, shopping, dining, and all that Ellicott City has to offer, plus close to Rockburn Branch Park.
